Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observations, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents have a right to a
dignified existence for one resident (unidentified resident) of one resident reviewed for resident rights. The
facility failed to ensure one staff member was not on the phone while assisting one resident with their meal.
This failure could cause residents to have a negative psychosocial outcome.Findings included: Observation
on 07/23/2025 at 12:23PM revealed LVN F was on the phone while assisting a resident (unidentified)
during lunch. During an interview on 07/24/2025 at 12:29PM LVN F revealed he was on the phone with the
doctor while assisting a resident with their meal. He stated it was not okay to be on the phone while
assisting residents with their meals. He explained it drew attention away from the resident, they could pick
up something they should not put in their mouth, and its disrespectful. He stated he would not have liked it
(if he was in the resident's position) and would want the utmost respect. During an interview on 07/24/2025
at 02:03PM with DON revealed while staff assist residents with their meals, she expected staff to sit next to
the resident, assist one resident at a time, to make sure they clean and sanitize their hands before assisting
each resident. She stated it was not acceptable for staff to be on the phone while assisting a resident. She
further stated an in-service was done the month prior regarding the topic. She explained it was not okay for
staff to be on the phone because staff would not be giving the resident their full attention, it can be a HIPAA
issue, and its not professional; staff should try to find someone else to assist the resident so they can talk to
the doctor. She stated the policy was a to not be on the phone in the patient care area. Record review of the
facility's policy Resident Rights revised December 2016 reflected: Policy StatementTeam members shall

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide a clean and homelike
environment for three of five residential halls (Hall 200, Hall 300, and Hall 400) reviewed for a safe, clean,
comfortable, and homelike environment. The facility failed to ensure six air duct registers were free of small
black spots, rust, paint chipping and securely fit into ceiling tiles. These failures could place residents at risk
for decline in health and decreased quality of life due to living in unclean and non-homelike
environment.Findings included: Observation on 07/22/2025 at 10:26AM in Hall 200 revealed: S One ceiling
air duct register covered with small black spots. S One ceiling air duct register, with rust and peeled paint
chips. Observation on 07/24/2025 at 11:59AM in Hall 300 revealed: S Two ceiling air duct registers covered
with small black spots and rust S One ceiling air duct register covered with small black spots Observation
on 07/24/2025 at 12:07PM in Hall 400 revealed: S One ceiling air duct register with small black spots in a
white ceiling tile with small black spots lining the air duct register. The ceiling air duct register did not
securely fit in the ceiling tile. An interview on 07/24/2025 at 01:11PM with the maintenance manager
revealed housekeeping was responsible for cleaning the air ducts and maintenance replaces air duct
registers. The maintenance manager explained he will talk with staff about maintenance requests, but staff
must put in a work order. This surveyor showed the maintenance manager an image of the condition of one
air duct register located in Hall 200; he stated that housekeeping would clean the air duct register, but
maintenance would replace the air duct register based on its dirty appearance. The maintenance manager
stated the substance on the air duct was not black mold, but it may be mold or dirt. The maintenance
manager discussed that to resolve the problem with the air duct registers, he would replace them. An
interview on 07/24/2025 at 01:45PM with the housekeeping manager revealed housekeeping staff was
responsible for maintaining cleanliness of the air duct registers and maintenance replaces air duct
registers. The housekeeping manager stated housekeeping staff cleaned resident rooms every day. She
expected the air duct registers to be checked daily; if housekeepers see an issue, they inform her or nurses
so a maintenance work order can be placed. The housekeeping manager stated housekeeping staff will
check all air duct registers and make a list of the ones that need replaced. During an interview on
07/24/2025 at 02:03PM with the DON revealed room rounds are done to check the condition each room.
The DON stated that she had not checked air duct registers. This surveyor showed the DON an image of
the condition of one air duct register located in Hall 200, and she stated she will now check the air duct
registers closely. She stated she would report the condition of the air duct register to housekeeping to have
it cleaned. The DON stated clean air duct registers are important because resident rooms should be
homelike, and so that the residents stay healthy and don't have issues because of a dirty air duct register.
Record review of the facility policy Homelike Environment revised February 2021 reflected: Policy
Statement Residents are provided with a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment and
encouraged to use their personal belongings to the extent possible. Policy Interpretation and
Implementation. The community team members and management maximize, to the extent possible, the
characteristics of the community that reflect a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include:

care plan for each resident to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs in
order attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable well-being for one resident (Resident #54) of
seven residents reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to complete care plans addressing Resident
#54's behavior of picking and scratching at wounds on her arm, or her skin condition. This failure could
affect residents by placing them at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs.Findings
included: Review of Resident #54's face sheet, dated 07/22/25, reflected she was an [AGE] year-old
female, admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which atopic neurodermatitis (a type of eczema which causes
intense itching, leading to thick, leathery patches of skin), stroke affecting her left side, and anxiety

able to understand others, and was usually able to be understood. She had a BIMS score of 13, indicating
intact cognition. The document reflected no concerns regarding her mood, mental status, or behavior.
Resident #54 used a wheelchair, and had one-sided impairment. While Resident #54 was noted to be at
risk for skin breakdown, no skin issues were noted in the document. Review of Resident #54's Medication
Administration Records and Treatment Administration Record from her admission on [DATE] through
06/22/25 reflected no orders having to do with the care of the resident's skin problem on her arms, or her
behavior of picking and scratching. Review of Resident #54's order summary, dated 07/24/25, reflected an
order for Triple Antibiotic External Ointment (Neomycin- Bacitracin-Polymyxin) Apply to Left outer elbow

to be alert, and sitting in her wheelchair in her room. Resident #54 had two round scabbed areas,
surrounded by flaky skin (approximately the size of a dime, including the flaky areas), and a vaguely
rectangular spot of open skin approximately a centimeter and a half wide, and three centimeters long,
appearing like the skin had been scraped off. When asked about the sores on her arm, the resident started
to scratch and pick at one of the round areas, and explained she was a picker and that she fell at home,
before she came to the facility, and scraped a bunch of skin off. She said it never healed all the way,
because she constantly scratched and picked at them. Resident #54 said they would get better, then get
bad again, because she could not leave them alone. She said the facility had wrapped her arm, to help her
remember to leave the wounds alone, but it itched so she took it off. She did not remember if they had tried
anything else. She

said she was not upset by the sores, and she had always been a picker. An interview on 07/23/25 at 2:59
PM with RN A revealed she thought Resident #54 had problems with her skin on her arm when she was
admitted . She said it would heal, then she would pick and scratch at it, and it would open up again. She
said they wrapped her arm sometimes to discourage her from picking it, but she took the wrap off. An
interview on 07/23/25 at 3:18 PM with CNA B revealed he was not sure how long Resident #54 had the
problem with her skin on her arm, but he remembered that it was an on-going issue with her, and it got
better, then it got worse again. An interview and observation on 07/24/25 at 10:14 AM with Resident #54
revealed the open wound on her arm appeared to be missing more skin than on previous observation, and
she was actively scratching her arm when the surveyor entered the room. Her arm, in the area of the
wound, had developed some redness (a possible sign of infection.) She was wearing a fabric sling on her
left arm. She said she thought it was to keep her from scratching, but she did not like it, because it hurt her
neck, and gave her a headache. She said the nurse said it looked like the open sore might be getting
infected, so she called the doctor about it. An interview on 07/24/25 at 10:16 AM with the DON revealed
she knew they had been addressing Resident #54's arm, and she thought they tried a sleeve before, but
the resident did not like it because she felt like it was squeezing the top of her arm, and took it off, just like
she took off the wraps. She felt the resident also simply did not like being unable to pick at her sore. She
said they had called the Nurse Practitioner about the issue and would continue to try different things. She
said the resident was able to communicate well with them, and she thought they would be able to find
something that worked. An interview on 07/25/25 at 10:20 AM with ADON C revealed she was the person
who had been working with Resident #54 about her arm. She said the sling was not to keep her from
scratching, but because she could not hold that arm up, and she would let it hang outside her power
wheelchair, and run into doorways and walls with it, re-opening the wound on her arm. They hoped the sling
would help her keep her arm pulled up. She did say the resident complained about it putting pressure on
her neck, so she moved the strap to the edge of her shoulder, and asked if they could try it there, so it
would not push on her neck. The ADON said she noticed that morning that it looked like it might be getting
infected, so she called the Nurse Practitioner. An interview on 07/24/25 at 1:42 PM with MDS revealed she
wrote the care plans under the direction of the DON, since she was an LVN. She said she updated them
upon completion of the MDS assessments, but the acute care plans were mostly done by the DON or
ADON, and if something came up between the MDS assessments, they usually took care of those care
plans. She said the behavior of picking at skin and causing open wounds should be care planned. MDS
said the point of the care plans was for everyone to be on the same page about resident care. An interview
on 07/24/25 at 1:55 PM with ADON C revealed the ADON role was new to her, and she had only been
doing it for about six weeks, so she was still learning the job duties. She said she had not, at the time of the
interview, been informed that writing care plans was one of her duties, and she had not reviewed them. She
said the reason individualized care plans were important was to make sure the residents were getting care
that was specialized for them. An interview on 07/24/25 at 2:02 PM with the DON revealed Resident #54
had not had the problem with her skin the entire time, but she did have a behavior of scratching and
picking, and that should have been care-planned. She was not aware that Resident #54's care plan was not
individualized. She said MDS was overall responsible for making sure care plans were accurate and
updated, and was the one who reviewed them before the DON signed them. She said she signed them for
completion, but not accuracy. An interview on 07/25/25 at 2:51 PM with the Administrator revealed the IDT
was responsible for keeping the care plans updated and individualized. She said the risk of them not being
kept up to date and not being individualized was

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment
remained free of accident hazards as is possible for 1 (Resident #42) of 15 residents and 6 residents on the
south suits hall reviewed for accidents and hazards in that; 1. Resident #42 had an electrical extension cord
and a multiple receptacle plug-in adaptor in his room.2. The facility failed to secure the exit door at the end
of south suites hall. This failure could place residents at risk of harm due to wondering or elopement.1.
Record review of Resident #42's face sheet, dated 07/22/25, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old man,
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of stroke, depression, uncontrolled blood sugar,
hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infraction affecting the left non-dominant side (this is the
paralysis and numbness after a stroke on the left side), limited mobility, and age related nuclear cataract in
both eyes ( this is the clouding and yellowing of the lens in the eyes causing blurred vision). Record review
of Resident #42's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 06/05/25, reflected Resident #42 had a BIMS score of
15, indicating that he was cognitively intact. Resident #42 had a clear speech and was able to understand
others and was understood by others. Resident #42. Resident #42's range of motion was impaired on one
side of his upper body and lower body. He was able to feed herself with only moderate assistance from staff
(helper does less than half the effort.) He was always continent of bowel and bladder. Review of Resident
#42's care plan, 06/26/25, reflected the following:Problem: Resident #42 barricaded himself in the room to
keep staff out, he was agitated with having a roommate and smashing into front sliding doors causing
damage.Goal: Resident #42 would have fewer episodes of behaviors through the next review date.
Interventions: -Intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others. Approach/Speak in a calm
manner. Divert attention. Remove from situation and take to alternate location as needed.-Monitor behavior
episodes and attempt to determine underlying cause. Consider location, time of day, persons involved, and
situations. Document behavior and potential causes. In an observation and interview on 07/22/23 at 10:40
AM, it was revealed that Resident #42 was in his room seated in a motorized wheelchair, he had a laptop
and multiple cords under his bed. There was a standard wall dual outlet plate on the wall by his headboard
and plugged into the wall outlet was a four-outlet adapter extender plugged into the wall and the adapter
had four long cables plugged into it including a white extension cord with a flexible cable that had a plug on
one end and a two-pong outlet on the other end. Resident #42 said all the staff were aware he had the
adaptor and extension cords. He said the facility had talked to him a few months ago that the cords were a
tripping hazard, but he did not agree the cords were a tripping hazard because he got assistance from staff
to get up from his bed to the wheelchair and back. Interview with the housekeeper on 07/24/25 at 10:55
AM, revealed that she cleaned Resident #42's room and she said he had too many cords in his room which
made it difficult to clean his floors. She said she did not report the extension cord because she thought he
was allowed. She said she had not received any in-service on extension cords and power strips but that
she was aware they were a fire hazard. In an interview with maintenance personnel on 07/24/25 at 11:02
AM, revealed different management personnel were assigned and designated to monitor different areas of
the facility and during a rounding a few weeks ago it had come to his attention that Resident #42 had an
extension card in his room. He said he had notified the nursing department including ADM about Resident
#42 having an extension cord. He said Resident #42 did not like him, so he did not go into his room unless
it was to fix something. He said nursing was responsible for monitoring residents' rooms and if something
needed to be fixed, they would notify maintenance, but he was not allowed to

remove or search residents' belongings. He said space heaters, electric blankets, power cords, and
extension cords were not allowed in the facility. He said these items were a fire hazard and could start a
fire. In an interview with DON on 07/24/25 at 2:02 PM, it was revealed the ADON's were responsible for
room rounds on different hallways however the two ADON's were new and had not yet been assigned the
responsibilities of room rounds. She said the nursing staff was responsible for monitoring the residents'
rooms and reporting issues to the necessary departments. She said the staff were having a difficult time
with Resident #42 because he did not allow them to touch anything in his room. She said he usually
refused to have his room cleaned as well. She said the risk of using an extension cord was it could start a
fire. In an interview with ADM on 07/24/25 at 3:00 PM, it was revealed she was not aware that Resident #42
had an extension cord prior to today. She said she had removed and stored the extension cord in her safe
after discovering it today. She said she filed a grievance for Resident #42 regarding the power cord because
he was very upset when it was taken from him. She said the issue will be addressed in Resident #42's care
conference next week and the ombudsman had been informed of the incident. She said the expectation
was that when something was discovered during room rounds it was discussed between the department
heads to come up with a solution. She said the risk of using an extension cord in the room was that it was a
safety issue. Record review of facility policy titled Items Prohibited in Resident Rooms undated reflected. No
electrical appliances or extension cords. No cooking or ironing equipment, electric blankets, heaters, etc. 2.
In an observation on 07/23/2025 at 2:49 PM reflected, the exit door at the Suites south hall was ajar and
the door alarm was turned off with no staff present in the hallway. In an interview with ADON on 07/23/2025

maintenance. In an observation and interview with Maintenance Director on 07/23/2025 at 2:55 PM
reflected, he drove up to the south side of the building entered through the unlocked door, subsequently,
secured the door and resent the alarm. He stated the door was unlocked to allow the plumber access to the
hall to repair a resident's toilet. In an interview with DON on 07/23/2025 at 3:00 PM reflected, all residents
were accounted for in the building. In an interview with Maintenance Director on 07/24/2025 at 1:04 PM, he
stated the plumber came in and the maintenance assistant unlocked the door to allow the plumber easy
access to the room on that hall. He stated the maintenance assistant was called away to the secure unit
and he left the door unlocked. He stated the door led to a back street and the risk of not watching the door
there was a chance a resident could go into the street. In an interview with maintenance assistant on
07/24/2025 at 1:40 PM reflected he was called away to help with an issue in the secure unit. He stated he
propped the door open (not fully open but ajar) and he told one of the nurses to watch the door (he was
unable to tell or point out the nurse he asked to watch the door). He stated the risk was the residents could
get out and walk away. In an interview with DON on 07/24/2025 at 2:22 PM reflected we are not supposed
to have the door open, when we have issues with securing the doors we have someone stand guard for the
safety of the residents. In an interview with ADMIN on 07/24/2025 at 3:04 PM reflected her expectation was
for maintenance to remain at the door to make sure the door was secure for resident safety. She stated she
did not have a policy regarding unsecure doors.
